Former Sydney radio station 2GB headquarters listed for sale
Long before podcasts and streaming transformed the media landscape, one Sydney CBD building was broadcasting around the clock to millions of Australians.
Now, the former headquarters of radio station 2GB has returned to the market, giving investors and owner-occupiers the chance to secure one of Sydney’s recognisable addresses.
Iconic media asset enters market
For generations of Australians, 2GB has been synonymous with Sydney radio. Founded in 1926, the station has been one of the country’s most influential commercial broadcasters and has operated from within 208 and 210/368 Sussex Street, Sydney, for over 25 years.
The office itself offers a unique proposition, not just with its history in the Sydney CBD, but also with an expansive floor plan that includes a rooftop terrace.
“Opportunities of this calibre are exceptionally rare,” Andrew Vines of Retail Commercial Consultancy says.
“This is not just an office. It is a high-profile penthouse commercial holding with rooftop title, signage rights, parking, storage and a remarkable media history.”
Located across levels 9 and 10 of 368 Sussex Street, the listing comprises approximately 600 square metres of strata space, including 310 square metres of refurbished office and a 270-square-metre rooftop terrace on title.
Natural light is another drawcard, with extensive window frontages delivering expansive CBD views throughout the office space. It’s no wonder the popular radio station held onto it for so long.
The property also includes building naming and signage rights, five secure car spaces, six storage rooms and dual street access from Sussex and Liverpool streets.
Beyond its existing office use, the rooftop offers upside potential.
“The ability to potentially create a sky garden, rooftop bar, restaurant or executive entertainment space, subject to council approval, makes it an irreplaceable opportunity as you just cannot buy rooftop spaces in Sydney CBD and Sydney does not have a supply of rooftop spaces which the public can enjoy,” explains Vines.
Its location is another selling point. Positioned within a block of World Square, Chinatown, Darling Quarter and George Street, the building sits in one of Sydney’s busiest commercial precincts, benefiting from strong pedestrian traffic and excellent access to transport, retail and hospitality.
